Amari Design reveals 740bhp Lamborghini Gallardo Invidia edition
British supercar dealer Amari Design has launched the Gallardo Invidia edition, featuring a carbon fibre bodykit, bespoke interior and an uprated 740bhp V10.
The Invidia edition receives a complete exterior overhaul, setting it apart from standard Gallardos. The bodykit includes a redesigned front bumper with a carbon fibre lip, new front wings, quarter panels, side skirts, and a restyled rear bumper. A carbon fibre diffuser and rear spoiler further distinguish the car. The kit is finished off with a stainless steel exhaust system, which enhances the car's appearance and promises a more pronounced engine note. The use of carbon fibre throughout the bodywork contributes to both visual impact and weight reduction, which can improve handling and acceleration.
Exterior Upgrades: Carbon Fibre Bodykit
- Redesigned front bumper with carbon fibre lip
- Complete front fenders and quarter panels
- Side skirts for a lower, more aggressive stance
- Restyled rear bumper fascia
- Carbon fibre diffuser and rear spoiler
- Stainless steel exhaust system
Amari Design’s approach puts carbon fibre at the centre of both the exterior and interior upgrades. The company offers a range of coloured carbon weaves for the trim, allowing customers to personalise the cabin to their tastes. These bespoke options are intended to appeal to buyers who want their Gallardo to stand out, both on the road and at events.
Interior: Personalisation and Motorsport Influence
Inside, the Invidia edition continues the carbon fibre theme. The interior is finished in carbon fibre trim, available in a wide array of colour weaves. Carbon fibre racing seats trimmed in Alcantara are fitted, aiming to combine show-car looks with track-inspired intent. This focus on premium materials and customisation reflects Amari Design’s background in the supercar market, where attention to detail is highly valued.

Performance: Engine Tuning by Amari Design
Beneath the revised bodywork, the Invidia edition’s 5.0-litre V10 is tuned to deliver up to 740 bhp (552 kW / 750 PS), a significant increase over the standard Gallardo’s output. All tuning work is performed in-house by Amari Design, led by John Greatorex, who the company describes as one of the UK’s leading supercar mechanics. The uprated engine, combined with the lighter carbon fibre components, is intended to deliver sharper acceleration and improved handling. The lower gearing and extra power aim to transform the Gallardo into a more focused machine, with enhanced responsiveness and a more dramatic soundtrack from the bespoke exhaust.
Launch and Availability
Amari Design targeted the launch of the first Gallardo Invidia edition for April 2011. As a made-to-order product, the Invidia edition offers buyers a high degree of customisation, from the exterior carbon fibre weave to the interior trim and seating. This approach is intended to attract enthusiasts who value exclusivity and bespoke design in their supercar.
Positioning in the Gallardo Tuning Market
With the Invidia edition, Amari Design enters a crowded segment of Gallardo tuners, competing with established names offering both cosmetic and performance upgrades. The company’s background as a supercar dealer has informed its approach, with an emphasis on high-end materials and a made-to-order philosophy. The Invidia edition is aimed at buyers seeking a unique Gallardo with both visual and mechanical distinction.
- Competes with other Gallardo tuners offering custom bodykits and engine upgrades
- Focuses on personalisation and high-quality materials
- Targets buyers looking for exclusivity and bespoke craftsmanship
For those interested in alternative Gallardo editions, the Tricolore Edition and Gold Edition have also been released in recent years, each offering their own take on the V10 Lamborghini’s style and specification. These variants highlight the popularity of the Gallardo as a base for customisation, with tuners and manufacturers alike producing limited editions to meet demand for individuality in the supercar market.
